Dialing in those borders 😮💨
What happens here
The carpenter proceeds to make cross-cuts on the composite deck boards. The Makita track saw and guide rail are positioned perpendicular to the length of the boards to create a uniform, straight edge across several boards. This is often done to trim the ends of a section or to prepare for a picture-frame border.
Goal: Create a uniform, straight edge across multiple composite decking boards.
Tools and materials
